Ryan Kalb, Berlin Local Expert

About Ryan

Originally from NYC, Ryan completed his BA at New York University and then promptly abdicated in 2007. Since then, he hasn't looked back. After an inspiring, year-long tour through Southeast Asia while teaching English in Bangkok, Thailand, he moved to Europe.

In Berlin, Ryan speaks fluent German and fills his days with translation and English instruction. With an MA in Literature and Cultural Studies, Ryan enjoys Berlin's dynamic nature and claims it's the antithesis of the German cliché. Ryan says that Berlin is electrified by a raw combination of potential and limitlessness rarely encountered in other cosmopolitan cities of the world.

Ryan's Special Recommendations for Berlin

Ryan says, "Don't leave Berlin without grabbing a drink and döner kebab in Kreuzberg and enjoying them on the canal surrounding Admiralsbrücke."
